The only good version of Salem's Lot..from the 70s. This scene really freaked me out as a kid.

The is going to date me but Saturday nights on WOI-TV "Gravesend Manor" would show a movie with Vincent Price "The Tingler".

Dr. Warren Chapin is a pathologist who regularly conducts autopsies on executed prisoners at the State prison. He has a theory that fear is the result of a creature that inhabits all of us. His theory is that the creature is suppressed by our ability to scream when fear strikes us. He gets a chance to test his theories when he meets Ollie and Martha Higgins, who own and operate a second-run movie theater. Martha is deaf and mute and if she is unable to scream, extreme fear should make the creature, which Chapin has called the Tingler, come to life and grow. Using LSD to induce nightmares, he begins his experiment.

I love Price. They don't make em like that anymore. The scariest ones show very little actual horror. Just let your imagination do the work, along with some creepy music.

Large Marge used to terrify me when I was little.

I saw Les Diaboliques (the original French version) when I was 11, and I checked the tub every time I went into a bathroom for the next year.

I still hate The Exorcist, freaks me out just thinking about it.

one really good movie was The Orphanage. It's one that sends shiver up your neck the whole time.
The Orphanage (2007) - IMDb

Love Dale and Tucker and The Shining is still one my fav movies.

(Halloween III: Season of the Witch may be the worst movie ever, however.)

The Shining will always be tops for me.

For more modern movies, I thought the creep factor was pretty high for Insidious from a couple years back, and Poltergeist still gets me sometimes.

Sinister is the best scary movie I've ever see. Great story that keeps you guessing and at the edge of your seat the whole time. Not to mention it still scares the **** out of you!
